Riddle, Randy Allen

Randy Allen Riddle, a man known for his infectious humor and friendly demeanor, passed away on May 26, 2024, in Roanoke, Virginia under the care of Roanoke Memorial Hospital and with his loving family by his side, at the age of 56. Born on August 5, 1967, in Virginia, Randy’s life was a testament to the joy and laughter he brought into the lives of those around him.

Randy was the beloved son of Billy Riddle (Priscilla) and Dreama Woodyard Maxie. His presence was a beacon of light for his cherished daughter, Kelsie Riddle (Dylan Mullins). Randy’s spirit will undoubtedly live on through the joy of his grandchildren, Easton, Kandin, and Grayson Mullins, who were the light of his life.

He is lovingly remembered by his siblings, Penny Riddle, Sylvia Wynn (Tom), Wendell Riddle (Tasha); and step-brother Clifford Harless (Lisa) . Randy also leaves behind a special friend, Jeff Lloyd, who shared many of life’s adventures with him. His warmth and kindness will be missed by his numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a multitude of friends who were all touched by his generous spirit.

Randy’s passion for life was evident in his many interests. He was an avid motorcycle rider, feeling most free with the wind in his face and the open road ahead. Throughout his life, Randy was dedicated to his career as a truck driver for FedEx, where he was known for his strong work ethic and the pride he took in his profession. Randy was not just a truck driver; he was a road warrior who found joy in every mile and friendship at every stop. His love for these things extended beyond profession and passion, as he kept his motorcycle, truck and house in impeccable condition, reflecting the meticulous and orderly nature of his character.

Family was the cornerstone of Randy’s life, and he cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Whether it was hanging out with friends, sharing a meal, or simply being together, these moments were the times Randy treasured most. His home was always filled with laughter, thanks to his role as the family prankster, a title he held with great pride.

An enthusiastic fan of the Atlanta Falcons, Randy’s loyalty to his team was as steadfast as his loyalty to his friends and family. Win or lose, he stood by his team with the same unwavering support he provided to those he loved.

Randy’s legacy is one of joy, kindness, and laughter. His ability to light up a room with his humor and to make everyone feel welcome was unparalleled. His friendly nature was not just an attribute but a way of life that endeared him to all who knew him.
